In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, you can still feel the impacts of Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s tragic ending.

At the end of that film, Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) casts a devastating spell that makes the world forget that Peter Parker (Tom Holland) ever existed. Yes, it saves the multiverse, but at the cost of Spider-Man fans’ hearts everywhere, as Peter’s girlfriend, MJ (Zendaya), and best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon), now no longer remember him. Separated from his support network, Peter is more isolated than ever by the time Brand New Day rolls around.

However, could Doctor Strange’s forgetfulness spell ever come in handy? What if you wanted to re-experience a beloved film, TV show, or book for the first time?

In an interview Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards, Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars Tom Holland, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, and Sadie Sink, as well as director Destin Daniel Cretton, revealed which pieces of media they’d love to look back on with totally fresh eyes. From Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, which of their picks would you want to forget and revisit?

Check out the full interview above, and stick around for Bernthal’s sweet response that sends Holland and Batalon scrambling for new answers.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now in theaters.
